In Case You Missed It, Here is the end of the Giants-Packers Game Last Night!
The New England Patriots' path to perfection has one last hurdle: a New York team of road warriors hoping for one more Giant upset.
Tom Brady and the Patriots will try to match the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to complete an undefeated season when they face Eli Manning and the Giants on Feb. 3 in the Super Bowl at Glendale, Ariz.
Standing in the Patriots' way are the Giants and Eli Manning — Peyton's little brother, whose leadership abilities no longer can be questioned.
The oddsmakers might think differently. They installed New England as a 13 1/2-point favorite in the big game, in which New York will get another shot at destroying the Patriots' path to perfection.
New England won 38-35 in its final game of the regular season, rallying from a 12-point second-half deficit against the Giants. The teams also played in the preseason finale, when New England won — with Brady sitting that one out.
Brady and the Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven years. A win in this one would rank the Patriots as perhaps the greatest champion in NFL history.
The Patriots never wavered.
Tom Brady threw an NFL-record 50 touchdown passes in the regular season, with 23 of those to Randy Moss, who topped Jerry Rice's record. Brady was also the league's Most Valuable Player in helping New England score an NFL-record 589 points.
Super Bowl XLII Is Sunday, February 3rd.
